Yes, there is io be a state fair and Cass county will want to be well rep resented in the 4-II judging contests. June ICth has been set aside for Judging practice at the College of Agriculture. Work In animal hus bandry, dairy, crops, poultry, baked foods, clothing, canning and girls room will be given. Local leaders and club members interested in Judg ing should take advantage of this practice day at Lincoln. Ant Control. Ants which come Into the house are generally after sweet foods or greasy foods. One of the simplest yet most successful control measures, ac cording to the Nebraska Agricultural college extension service, is to dis solve four ounces of sugar in a quart cr v.-ater, add U ounce of tartar emetic. Soak small piece of sponge In this poison mixture and place them in shallow dishes in the cupboards or on the shelves where the ants bother. If the ants are after grease, the tartar emetic might be worked into a piece of bacon rind which can then be distributed in the cupboard. The tartar emetic will net kill ants quickly. They will carry it back to their n;sts and feed it to their young, thereby destroying the entire colony of ants. TTfcat to D: for Cucomber Beetles. The striped cucumber beetle, or 12 spotted beetle, or melon bug, that feeds on the small cucumber and jnejon vines have made their appear ance and are doing their devastat ing work. These insects feed on the ieaves and stems of melon plants and may completely destroy them -while they are small. Some persons use cheese cloth cr screen wire cover which keep the bugs out. If these protectors are not available make a mixture of one part arsenate of lead and 3 parts of pow dered lime or fiour. Mix these well (dry) and put in a cheese cloth bag. Shake this well on the plants when the dew is on in the mornings. Shake it on the top and underneath sides of the leaves. Continue this until the rlar.ts are old enouch to resist the ravages of the bugs. fore the first cover spray should be jn by June 1st. The hot weather has been unfavor able for Ecab, but there are enough early Infections to cause trouble should the weather turn cool and svet. Considerable burning of the foliage has appeared, but as near as we can tell most of this is due to hot dry v. ind3 on the tender foliage rath er than spray burn. Use 1 pounds of lead arsenate to 50 gallons of water and either Bor deaux mixture, 2-4-50, or liquid lime sulfur 1 to 50, or dry lime sulfur 2 to 3 to 50. Tho Bordeaux is preferred when the temperature and humidity are high especially on Jonathan, Golden, Delicious and Grimes. Varieties like winesap and Red Deilciou3 are now resistant to sulphur burn. It is de sirable to use a fungicide in this ap plication even though there is no danger from scab. Frogeye or black rot and blotch rae diseases that can develop in hot weather.

The addition of salt to the hog ra tion is generally very desirable. Block salt can be supplied, although some mm n no-firm whether thets are able to secure sufficient salt to meet their needs where it is fed this way. Where pigs are accustomed to salt barrel s-it tpv ho Kunnlicd. If they are not accustomed to it, salt should not be placed before them, for it fre quently causes salt poisoning, due to to overeating. A simple method to feed rait is in a combination made up of 2 parts steamed bone meal, 2 parts ground limestone, and 1 part salt; or one bushel cf wood or cob arhes, 8 pounds of air-slacked lime, and 5 pound3 of salt. If you feed one per cent salt may be included in the mixture. Cattle eat dirt and chew bones and rrgs usually because there i3 a de ficiency in the ration at least cattle tire of what they are receiving. Fat tening cattle frequently will eat con siderable "unsoiled dirt." In some instances they lick the vertical sides of creek banks. Not infrequently earth is hauled in and kept in a bank in the feed lot. Where cattle seem to. have depraved appetites, it is a good plan to supply a simple mineral mixture. Forty per cent fine- Lincoln, Neb., June 1. State high way construction is now furnishing employment to nearly six thousand men in Nebraska. The exact number working for contractors on state projects was 5,741 when the last report was re ceived from the project engineers by State Engineer Roy Cochran.

Several hundred tests at the agri cultural experiment station at Lin coln show the poultry raisers are generally wrong when they blame death loss of chicks to poison or other harmful ingredients in their poultry feed. Each spring letters come in to the agricultural college poultry department telling of trouble with chick losses and asking for a chemical analysis of small samples of feed which accompany the letters. Prof. F. E. Mussehl, head of the poultry department, says that a chemical analysis would be expen sive and tells very little regarding the content of the feed. During the past two months Mussehl has fed the samples of accused feed to healthy chicks properly brooded in battery brooders. In no case has the feed so tested produced death as described in the letters from the people who Eent in the samples. hese results led Mussehl to believe that the trouble is in the cleanliness of the food and water supply In the brooder house, or in the brooding methods used by the poultry raisers who are having the trouble. The chicks should not be allowed to pick up feed out of dirty litters on the brooder house floor, nor should they be allowed to run through the feed or water supply, he says. Elevating the feed and water containers on plat forms and frequent cleaning of the brooder house are two. ways to pre vent the trouble. Mcldy litter may also be respon sible for some of the chick troubles, especially If the chicks are confined to the brooder house. YOUNG PEOPLE WEDDED From Friday's Dally Last night after Judge A. H. Dux bury had retired to slumberland at his home on west Pearl street, he was aroused by the summons to arise and join in the bonds of wedlock two young people of Des Moines, Iowa.

PLATTSMOUTH Quality Maintained LJ ECENT years have seen considerable reductions in the cost of commodities and service in all lines. The public has learned to expect lower prices. It is important, however, to see that these reductions are legitimate, and not effected by a sacrifice of quality. It is one thing to buy at a lower price when quality remains the same, and quite another to accept inferior merchandise or service offered as a "bargain." Our charges for merchandise and service are lower today than they have been in many years, but the re duction is the result of lower costs and economies in management. We refuse to sacrifice our high standards of quality and mislead our clients with "savings" which are only apparent. SATTLER FUNERAL HOME 4th and Vine Streets Plattsmouth, Nebr.
